Martina's Evidence of Learning

In Amy's literacy this week we critiqued our Energy explanations . There were 15 deeper features to critique our writing. Most of them are to do with structure. The lines on the very right are for how we do. The very start if the line is you didn't do it in your explanation. The middle is that you did it and the end is that you did it and did it well. For our follow up we had to critique another persons  writing.

On Tuesday the 27th we moved on from Nicole's immersion to Amy's. In Amy's immersion we are learning about physical energy and the swinging pendulum. We had to make our own Swinging pendulum and calculate the  mass of our weight and choose a height between 15 - 40cm and convert it to meters. The next thing we had to do was calculate the potential energy/PE. After we do that we workout  the theoretical velocity also known as V T. The last thing we got up to was doing the trials two of our members had to get a stopwatch and time how much seconds to get to one point to another.

In Immersion we are now with Kothar and Nicole. We learnt about States of matter and what happens to the atoms when they are solid, liquid or gas. When things are solid the atoms are tightly packed with a pattern. If they are liquid they will try to take up enough space as they can. Finally if its a gas it is well separated and will flow freeley at high speed.
